MasukAfter being kidnapped as a child, Cora grew up believing she was just another orphan scraping by. She built herself from nothing, fell in love with a rising celebrity, and married him only for her world to collapse when he betrayed her with another woman. When he divorces her cruelly, calling her worthless, Cora demands compensation unaware that the check he writes will be the key to uncovering her true identity. The media storm around their divorce draws attention from a powerful billionaire family, her real family who have been searching for her for over twenty-five years. Her father, a business magnate, had never stopped looking. Alongside him are his three adopted sons, a brilliant lawyer, a top surgeon, and a CEO each bound by loyalty to protect their lost sister. When they find her, Cora ’s world flips overnight from delivery girl to hidden heiress. But her ex-husband’s downfall is just the beginning. The woman he left her for hides a connection to the person who kidnapped Cora years ago, setting off a deeper web of secrets, greed, and revenge that could destroy an empire. Now, three powerful men fight not just to protect Cora but to win her heart.

She ducked to the side, and Vanessa stumbled forward, nearly crashing into the wall. Liam caught her before she fell. "You crazy bitch!" Vanessa shrieked, her perfect face twisted with rage. "Do you know who I am? I will destroy you! I will ruin your pathetic little life!" "My life is already ruined," Cora shot back, her voice hoarse. "Thanks to both of you." Liam's eyes darkened. He let go of Vanessa and stepped toward Cora, his fists clenched. "You need to learn some respect." "Respect?" Cora laughed bitterly. "You want me to respect you? After what you just did to me?" "Sign the papers, Cora." Liam's voice was low and dangerous. "Sign them now, or I swear—" "Fine!" Cora screamed. "FINE!" She bent down and snatched the divorce papers from the floor. Her hands shook so badly she could barely hold the pen Liam shoved at her. But she signed. She signed every page, her tears f
"Tomorrow, the Sterlings are hosting a gala night."Vanessa's voice cut through the silence like a knife. She was still wrapped in Liam's arms, looking at Cora like she was something disgusting stuck to the bottom of her designer shoe.Cora could not move nor breathe. Her cheek still throbbed from where Liam had hit her. Her heart felt like it had been ripped out and stomped on. But she forced herself to stand straight. To not collapse. Not yet."It is going to be the event of the year," Vanessa continued, running her fingers through Liam's hair like she owned him. "All the biggest names in entertainment will be there. Directors, producers, actors." She paused, her smile widening. "And I am going to ask my brothers to make Liam the face of our luxury jewelry brand, Lumière."Lumière. Even Cora, in her broken state, recognized that name. Lumière was not just any jewelry brand—it was the jewelry brand. Celebrities fought to wear their pieces on red carpets. One campaign with them could
"Thank you for your delivery."The words sliced through the air, cold and mocking. Cora's entire body went numb. She stood there, frozen in the doorway, her mind refusing to accept what her eyes were seeing.This was not real. This could not be real.Liam—her Liam—stood there in another woman's apartment. Shirtless. Guilty. And he was not even trying to hide it."Cora..." His voice was flat. Empty. Like her name meant nothing in his mouth anymore."Liam." Her voice came out broken, barely a whisper. "What... what is this?"He did not answer right away. Instead, he looked at Vanessa, then back at Cora. Something shifted in his expression. The guilt disappeared, replaced by something harder. Colder."I am with Vanessa now," he said simply. "There is no point pretending anymore."The world tilted beneath Cora's feet. Her heart slammed against her ribs so hard she thought it might crack them open. "Pretending? What are you talking about? Liam, today is our anniversary! Our third anniversa
Cora's heart pounded so hard she thought it might burst right out of her chest. She clutched the handlebars of her rusty delivery bike, her knuckles white, but her face—oh, her face was glowing with pure joy."He got it," she whispered, then louder, "He actually got it!"A woman passing by gave her a strange look, but Cora did not care. Let them think she was crazy. Her husband was going to be a star! After all those failed auditions, all those nights he came home defeated, all those times his so-called friends laughed at his dreams—finally, finally, something good was happening."I sent Liam's resume to Director Morrison last week," she said to herself, pedaling through the crowded street with a grin that would not quit. "The casting director called me this morning. She said Liam was perfect for the lead role. Oh God, he is going to lose his mind when I tell him!"She imagined the moment over and over. How his eyes would go wide with shock. How he would grab her and spin her around t
